Ghazanfar Abbas

you & me

From a remote area of Baluchistan province to the modelling ramp, Ghazanfar Abbas’s journey is an inspiring one. He forayed into the modelling world nearly a year ago when a fashion coordinator introduced him to photographer Khawar Riaz who noticed his spark and introduced him into the fashion industry. Ghazanfar started his professional career with a shoot of mighty designer Amir Adnan and made his presence felt and big brands started coming his way thick and fast. He displayed a reservoir of energy for the varied projects he belted out for an array of designers and brands including Gul Ahmed, Mansoor Akram, HSY, Fashion Factory, Junaid Jamshed, Nomi Ansari, etc. The young lad is all set now to delve into acting and intends to start with YouTube before making a transition to mainstream television. Although, he got a chance to showcase his acting skills in a web series but later the project got shelved and now he is waiting for the right role to make his debut. Soon he will be doing a project with director Fasi Bari Khan for which he is super excited. Let’s find out about the likes and dislikes of this young model…

My biggest assets:

My family.

I wish I could:

Become an International fitness trainer.

One person I would love to dine out with:

HSY.

My worst nightmare:

Losing my loved ones.

My definition of love is:

According to me love is trust. It is the most important aspect of any relationship.

Something I like about myself:

My physique.

One thing I dislike about myself:

Not having control over sleeping. I sleep a lot and sometimes oversleep as well. (haha)

Something I would like to forget:

I want to forget few bitter moments I experienced during my childhood.

Something I would like to remember:

The memories of my late friend whom I miss aplenty. Friends are irreplaceable.

My strength:

My family and friends.

I regret:

Due to my entry into fashion, I was unable to cope up and ended up leaving my education midway. But now I’m fully geared up to get back to it.

I get super relaxed:

Being a solitude lover, whenever I am alone and find myself spending time in my own company, I get really thrilled.

I get dejected:

To see our politicians not taking care our country the way they’re supposed to. Pakistan is meant for greater things and it’s sad the way it gets treated.

Something that I am strongly possessive about:

My family. I am nothing without them, honestly.

I get turned on by:

Beauty with brains!

When feeling low I prefer:

To go for a long walk or quick run and hit the gym indulging myself in a heavy workout. Nothing makes me feel better than sweating it out in the gym.

The most unforgettable moment of my life was:

My first shoot for designer Amir Adnan.

What touches me the most?

People who are forgiving.

If I could be another person I would like to be:

A sound businessman.

What bores me the most?

Gossips and people who talk senselessly.

Any parting words with our readers?

Success comes from hard work and it won’t ever just flirt with you if you are dedicated and work painstakingly to attain the goals you set for yourself.
